Q. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles. If m∠1=(5x−6)∘ and m∠2=(5x−4)∘, then find the measure of ∠1.Answer:
Set up equation: Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. We can set up an equation where the sum of m/1 and m/2 is equal to 180 degrees.Calculation: (5x−6)+(5x−4)=180
Simplify equation: Combine like terms to simplify the equation.Calculation: 5x+5x−6−4=18010x−10=180
Isolate variable: Add 10 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable x.Calculation: 10x−10+10=180+1010x=190
Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for x.Calculation: 1010x=10190x=19
Find measure of angle: Now that we have the value of x, we can find the measure of /1 by substituting x back into the expression for m/1.Calculation: m/1=(5x−6)m/1=(5×19−6)m/1=(95−6)m/1=89 degrees
